It depends more on your development philosophy. If you want to do
OOAD, and use the (tougne in cheek) "full power of OO", MI is a way to
go.

Eiffel deals with MI in a very simply manner, when classes occur you
can rename duplicate features and also 'select' the features that you
want to satisfy the signature for the class.
